The All Aboard Diner pulls out all the stops when it comes to its family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a train lover's paradise the minute you step through the door. An elaborately modern, yet old-timey-style interactive train set is conveniently located in the waiting area, while another train runs along a suspended track providing plenty of high-flying entertainment. Though we were seated in less than five minutes, we weren't able to score a coveted counter, where a black locomotive circles around delivering food fresh from the kitchen directly to hungry guests. The 100% peanut-free environment scored big brownie points for us, while the big screen TVs that play Thomas & Friends DVDs on a continuous loop were winners for the kids. And, as a practically popping pregnant gal at the time, I was ecstatic to find that the roomy booths gave my blooming belly more than ample space to slide into my seat.
